Mom, Stanton, and I went to Cavalia as an early Christmas treat and birthday gift for my Mom.
Atlantic Station was amazing!
The lights and the Christmas tree were so beautiful!
Stanton is as tall as me!
but not as tall as that tree! Cavalia was INCREDIBLE!!! If you have not seen it...go, but go quickly...it ends January 03rd. What an incredible night we had!! You cannot take pictures once you are inside.
We were so lucky...Santa came and stayed at our house!
Berklie loved every second of it...especially that tickley beard!
Emerson, on the other hand...the red suit, she could do without!
That beard does not tickle, Berklie, it scratches!! Someone please help me!
Never fear, Em...that is just Oompa!
If you tell him what you want for Christmas, he will be sure to get it exactly right...
But you better not pout any more!!
Because Santa Claus is coming to town!! Merry Christmas!!
Em's birthday party was a huge success!
The best part was that we kept the jump castle all weekend!
That way, Berklie could jump with her cast on, and not get hurt...we didn't share this with the doctor though!
Look at that smile...can you imagine telling her that she could not jump?! Me either!
Peace...
Love...
and happiness!
That is what it is all about!!
Live life to the fullest, and spend each day as if it were your last!
That's right, Franklin...this is how we do things around the Quinnelly house! You can come back any time! Franklin went to Stafford's basketball game...Go Saint Brigid!
It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to!
We had a special visit from Good Ol' Saint Nick! The kids were so excited! Aunt Janet, Mom, and Casey sat on his lap.
Stafford told Santa he just wanted to win his basketball game. It was a really busy day...game after the party ended, and they did win!
Stanton, Berklie and Rachel told Santa their secret Christmas wishes.
Santa came to the cookie decorating station too!
Jamison told Santa she wanted a new pair of shoes for Christmas!
And Trippy told Santa he wanted...WHAT?! An electric scooter? Don't you need a driver's licence to drive one of those things?! Not in this hood...I think Santa brought one! Santa rocks!
Emerson told Santa that she was outta here...barn boots and all! There was a princess castle waiting outside with her name on it!
Brighton had Franklin home for the party weekend! Franklin had the best time, ever...he didn't want to go back to school on Tuesday!
Rachel just stared at Santa and walked around with her balloon...not too sure what to think of this guy in the red suit! Here is a little secret...it was her very own Papa Q!! Cracked us all up!!!
Stanton, Sydney, and Natalie helped Santa come down from the north Pole.
The castle awaits!
These kiddos jumped and jumped...it was freezing cold outside, and they didn't even seem to notice. 
Cody, Brighton, and Franklin too!
Jamison tries to capture Emerson to open presents.
Aunt Janet assists in some of the gift opening...
Mom, Papa, Aunt Jennifer, and Oompa wait for cake to be served.
The girls help at the cookie table...this was the hit of the party! We had crafts too, but the frosting and M&M's made this table a bit more enticing.
We went to Mom and Papa's house for Thanksgiving...Mom and Dudley taking a rest after our big dinner.
Emerson ready to roll after a bunch of sweet pies!
Look who is up there!
Stanton and Stafford...a RARE moment of...what is that?! A hug?!! Sweet... We are so thankful for these moments!
Strong man?!
Stafford and Papa getting their first helpings.
Delicious dinner, Mom! Thank you so much! We are so very thankful for our beautiful family!
Then we had Thanksgiving at Mimi and Papa Drewry's farm in Covington. Mimi worked so hard...beautiful dinner, as always! We love you so much...thank you for including us as a part of the family!
The kiddo's table...my favorite spot!
Happy Thanksgiving sweet baby Sterling! Aunt Heather will give you some mashed potatoes to go with that bottle, I am just sure of it! It was his first Thanksgiving, and I think he really liked it! Welcome to the world sweet little man!!
